Farmers Alliance/CHS: UGF 1 and UGF 2 Pig Feed Recalled for Potential Rumensin Residue

Agency Publication Date: April 17, 2017

Summary

Farmers Alliance/CHS is recalling approximately 12,079 pounds of pig feed, specifically UGF 1 and UGF 2 varieties, because they may contain unauthorized residues of Rumensin (monensin). This recall was initiated after it was discovered that the feed might have been cross-contaminated with this medication, which is not intended for use in swine. The affected products were distributed directly to one producer in Nebraska between November 2016 and April 2017.

Risk

The presence of Rumensin (monensin) residue in pig feed poses a critical health risk to swine, as monensin is toxic to pigs and can cause heart damage or death if ingested. While this recall is limited to a single producer, contaminated feed could lead to significant livestock loss within that operation.

What You Should Do

Immediately identify if you have UGF 1 (Recall #V-0091-2017) with code information 142330 or UGF 2 (Recall #V-0092-2017) with code information 142331.
Stop using the affected pig feed immediately to prevent livestock exposure to monensin residue.
Return any unused portions of the affected feed to the place of purchase at 120 East Main St, Corsica, South Dakota, 57328, or contact the manufacturer to arrange for a refund and proper disposal.
If you have already fed this product to your animals, contact a veterinarian immediately if the pigs show signs of distress, heart issues, or sudden death.
